The 5th Michigan was in retreat according to eye witnesses. I know these were Southeners so the elite discount their testimony. The shot was made from 20-30 FEET! It has never been proven that it was Huff that made the shot.However, he didn't make it past Battle of Haw's Shop.

Hurst Tue, 09 Feb 2010 23:18:01 +0000 #comment-190310 I believe there is a serious error in the article. Huff shot Stuart from a distance of 40 yds, not 400. With a pistol, even 40 yds is a very fine shot, but 400 yds with a pistol is impossible, even for a sharpshooter. I believe there is a serious error in the article.

Stuart monument. Two years ago William died of the effects of that terrible disease. I stayed on here on Francis Road . .I believe I live right on the battlefield of Yellow Tavern. I oftenwalk to the J.E.B. Stuart monument three blocks east with my little dog"Rosie", and we climb the steps to sit on the bench in the peaceful little park by the white monument . Its inscription is truer, I believe, than what many give it true credit for. "He Saved Richmond," and indeed Stuart did --that May day, "On this high ground" So tragic-- to lose such a brave good intelligent man to the violent chances of war.So many brave young men died here--. So many many good young men . I also believe that this old house is haunted by those who died here 144 years ago; Locked doors open with no fingers twisting the knobs; strange sounds: clicks and thuds and metallic ringings are heard --both by me and by little Rosie who always sleeps with her ears perked toward the kitchen. She lifts up at these unexplainable disturbances and then lies back down again, as if to say "Oh, it's only the boys--coming home late again." Oh, how I wish it was the all boys-- coming home again to live out the lives they all lost too soon in all the wars we've lost, or won. .
